<P>
<CODE>WebDB</CODE> is at the same time: 



<UL>

<LI>A tool which allows browsing and modifying interactively and remotely using any WWW browser many kinds of relational (SQL) databases which may reside in different locations and operating systems.

<LI>A customizable relational (logic) database system with a WWW-based user-interface. In this case the internal databases are kept as <CODE>WebDB</CODE> native tables, which are stored as Prolog

persistent predicates and can also be consulted/edited from a Prolog program or even by using a text editor. 

</UL>

<P>
The user-interface provided by <CODE>WebDB</CODE> can be customized for a specific application by performing small changes in its configuration files. Such changes can be made interactively through the interface provided by the system, directly by modifying HTML templates, or through a combination of these methods.
